This song was revolutionary for its time. The ethereal sounds in the background that made up the melody were incredibly difficult to create, taking hundreds of hours of cutting tape. This is probably very high on the list of greatest songs ever written... at least in the contemporary sense. There is actually an entire documentary dedicated to this song and how it was made.

@WilliamTheMovieFan 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah. Basically they wanted to have a choir singing, but they couldn't afford that, so they all were recorded singing certain notes over and over again. They took all of them and created a choir effect. They also asked the secretary to sing the lines "Be quiet. Big boys don't cry." She didn't want to, but they convinced her. Too bad they didn't listen to the longer version. This is the standard "radio" play version. It cuts off some of the best parts.

One morning 10cc frontman Eric Stewart was sitting at his kitchen table with his wife of 8 years. When she made the statement. "You don't say 'I love you, enough" his reply was. "If everyday I say. 'I love you darling.' Then the word will lose their meaning." This song is a furthering of his explanation. Notice one line. Don't tell your friends about "The two of us". Your friends are putting things in your head, that they know nothing about. They can't read my mind or know my intentions. Eric and his wife Gloria have been married for over fifty years. So he is in love.

That studio is long gone now, but the building and what 10cc made there was the only big thing to come out of Stockport, so they made the building into a listed building, so it can never be taken down, folks from all over the world have there photo taken out side

This is a very complex song that they had to put together from 1,000's of recordings. The Whoo-Whoos come from the fact that each member had to record their vocal parts at least 17 times to be melded together to make those lush sounds. He's definitely in love.

Then, probably in my 40s, I heard that song again and instantly realized "Me thinks thou dost protest too much". It was obvious he was trying to convince himself, and her, that there was no "love" involved, and thus no commitment would be forthcoming on his part.

The idea for the song came from singer Eric Stewart saying to his wife that if he kept saying "I Love You" over and over, it wouldn't mean anything even though he did love her. He recalled to The Guardian: "I met this gorgeous girl called Gloria at Halifax town hall. I was 18. She was 16. Three years later, we got married. A few years after that, Gloria told me: 'You don't say 'I love you' much anymore.' I told her that, if I said it all the time, it would sound glib. But I started wondering how I could say it without using those actual words. So 'I'm not in love' became a rhetorical conversation with myself - and then a song.(From Songfacts)

He's clearly in love, but afraid of it. He's trying to convince himself he's not. This is a beautiful love song!

This song was created from a wife saying to her husband..."You don't say 'I love you' much anymore." It's a love song. And the couple are in love.

And the couple - lead singer Eric Stewart who wrote the song and his wife Gloria - are still married after more than 50 years

I remember hearing this on the Radio in July 75, it even sounded ok on the tiny 4 inch speaker. The "Be Quiet, Big Boys don't cry" was done by Secretary, who thought they were nuts for asking her to record it.

Yes, the production of their voices in the background was cutting edge for that time. It was pure brilliance. There are KZfaq's that explain how this song was created.

10CC were one of the cleverest bands of the70s - so wonderful lyrically. Check out Silly Love Songs, Dreadlock Holiday, Wall Street Shuffle, so many more...

I was 18 when this song was released back in 1975 and I thought it was the most Incredible sound I had ever heard. Its now June 2024,I'm 67 and haven't changed my mind. Absolute masterpiece which will never be bettered. For me.

It is layered singing (their voices played on top of this voices...etc). Song is one of a kind. Eric Stewart, the lead singer, wrote this for his wife who said he doesn't say he loves her enough.

Spot on,he wrote it cuz his wife said he doesn't say i love you enough...and that was a synth mix of 48 human voices in the backround!

The spoken line "Be quiet, big boys don't cry' explains it all.

Lex is the vibe catcher. There are things that can be felt that may be difficult to explan but make complete sense.

I still cry every time I listen to this. You lose the love of your life but you can't admit how much she / he meant to you.

From 1975. I remember when it was released. As a teenager I guess we never much thought about the lyrics but liked it just fine anyway.

I remember being in 7th grade and in the halls between classes, the radio was playing...when I heard this song I took it for what it was.... I'm just not in love, it means what it means

It's a denial of his love. Hurt feelings can cause fear. He's in love, but fears what could happen, so he states, "I'm not in LOVE". He is in LOVE!!!!!! A very beautiful emotional song with so much pain.
